LeBron James: Game 5, is this the worst performace in the playoffs so far??

[Black and White]

No trolling, just honesty, Durant has had some bad games, Paul had 1, Parker too, but is this the worst game by a star so far?

[Rocketswin2013]

Go outside.

[oarabbus]

If you mean ANY player, then no.

If you mean relative to how good that player is, then this is the worst by far.

[Kvnzhangyay]

This.

[Cocaine80s]

OP is a troll who tries to act like he is objective. Dude always creates threads with subtle jabs but we all know what he is trying to do here.

tons of posters have already called him out for it

[JT123]

The refs did a GREAT job of keeping him in check. :bowdown:

[Rocketswin2013]

:lol Holy crap. He scored just 7? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Didnt even know. Damn 'Bron.

[Black and White]

If you mean ANY player, then no.

If you mean relative to how good that player is, then this is the worst by far.

As I said in the OP, the worst by a star player.

Plus he is a kobe stan that poses as a celtics fan:biggums:

[DaSeba5]

He was in foul trouble. I did not expect him to all of sudden get into a rhythm and go off in a game where he was sitting on the bench for most of the game. LeBron is a rhythm shooter like Wade. I can't believe people are comparing this to the 2011 Finals where he played 40 minutes.

Would Zach Lavine have scored more than LeBron today?

[Cocaine80s]

Would Zach Lavine have scored more than LeBron today?
yes. he is an amazing scorer. Im not afraid to say that he could lead the league in scoring by his 3rd year

[Rose'sACL]

No trolling, just honesty, Durant has had some bad games, Paul had 1, Parker too, but is this the worst game by a star so far?
how was it bad? he was in foul trouble and couldn't go to the rim because of the fear of picking up a foul. i know you have waited a long time for this but thos wasn't bad at all. He never got any rhythm. how can a guy with 5 fouls go to the rim and expect free throws if he gets fouled?

Not even James did this.

Nah, this isn't on the 2011 finals level, thats taking it too far.

Its the truth, you LeBron fans are the ones that get annoyed at things that myself and other fans say.

Pretty much this. Lebron had no choice but to be passive when the refs were calling fouls on him for breathing on people. :lol

[Marchesk]

No, 0/0/1 Hibbert was worse. James had to sit half the game, so that needs to be taken into context.

[Young X]

In terms of elite players, Durant and Westbrook in game 5 against Memphis were just as bad.

15 points on 5-21 with 5 TO's for KD. He actually did more harm to his team when he was on the court than Bron did.

Westbrook with 15/7 on 6-24 with 7 TO's.

46 wasted possessions.

SMH. They just got bailed out by Jackson and the refs.

[Cocaine80s]

Its the truth, you LeBron fans are the ones that get annoyed at things that myself and other fans say.
not sure if srs... why do you guys keep bitching about Lebron fans then if ur not annoyed?

Let me get this clear, I fully expect LeBron to come back from this, he wont do this again, I was just putting this game in context with other stars games in these playoffs, Harden, Durant, Paul, Parker, George, Dirk have all had crap games, just seeing where this one ranks.

[Black and White]

No, 0/0/1 Hibbert was worse. James had to sit half the game, so that needs to be taken into context.

I said "star" players, nobody in their right mind considers Hibbert a star

you literally do this after every bad game from lebron. "Oh i just want to compare games, no other reason... just curious"

you just like to start shit tbh

[oarabbus]

James Harden?

Oh shit Heavincent with the KO

Harden's choking >>>> James' choking

[Stern]

Its bad but not as bad as Kd and Westbrook being bailed out by Reggie Jackson.

no, you weren't putting anything in context. you constantly shit on heat fans for being bandwagon fans when you call yourself a celtics fan and support lakers and kobe. you even hate the same players lakers/kobe fans hate.
I like LeBron but do you see me shitting on KD when he has a bad game? you have shitted on Howard just like lakers fans.
Stop talking about context. You are very biased when it comes to lebron.

[Black and White]

you literally do this after every bad game from lebron. "Oh i just want to compare games, no other reason... just curious"

Its a legit question, do you not see people debating it in this thread? You are the one catching feelings, just admit he was garbage today and move on, nothing wrong with that brah.

OP getting exposed so hard. :lol Notice he only makes these kinds of threads after the Heat lose or Lebron has a bad game. You aren't fooling anyone OP. I would almost respect you if you just admitted you were a Lebron hating troll. :no:

[DaSeba5]

Its a legit question, do you not see people debating it in this thread? You are the one catching feelings, just admit he was garbage today and move on, nothing wrong with that brah.

I can't say he was garbage because he didn't really get a chance to be garbage.

Stop talking about context. You are very biased when it comes to lebron.

Shitting on Howard? No, its Harden that I shit on lol, but I have had debates about Howard v LMA during the regular season though (it was a fair debate)

LeBron fans constantly bash Durant, what the hell are you talking about?

And if I am so biased, why am I able to say LeBron will be one of the greatest ever? No true LeBron hater says that.

[Black and White]

just stop... You lost all credibility with that all time ranking thread before.

Why do you catch feelings so hard? I don't see you saying shit when your fanbase create hundreds of KD bashing threads, sometimes you have to learn to take what you dish out.

You do pus*y shit by throwing subtle jabs without showing ur true intentions. U r a weakling

[Black and White]

I can't say he was garbage because he didn't really get a chance to be garbage.

I will say one thing though, Rashard Lewis :eek:, is he back on dem PEDs??? How can you go from bench warming scrub to that??

I was shocked.

[Black and White]

why is a celtic fan so salty?

I'm not salty, you are the one thats all butthurt trying to derail this thread...... complaining about people hating on LeBron, look at the other thread saying "this is why LeBron will never be top 10", do you see me saying that? No

Go complain in that thread.

I don't actually hate LeBron, I don't really hate any player because I dont know them, I am able to say LeBron is the 2nd or 3rd best player I have watched in my lifetime (late MJ and Shaq), but I'm not going to bend over for him.

[Milbuck]

So it's "objective" to trash Durant when he has bad games, but when threads are made about Lebron putting up a 7 point performance, it's being a Kobetard, a hater, etc?

Lebron is one of the greatest players we've ever seen, he's the best player in the world right now, and he's more than made up for his past failures...but that doesn't mean you can just brush aside anything negative he does.

[Cocaine80s]

:cheers: At least those guys don't try to act like something they are not. They are trolls and don't try to hide it, which I can respect.
Lol at OP tryna act like he aint a hater


Re: LeBron "empty stats" James
I knew this was going to get created, so why not?

I don't hate the guy but he put pressure on himself and didn't deliver

His 25/8/7 today looks nice on paper

Tryna act like he has no bias. Whats the point of making that thread? Because other trolls havent made one yet? :oldlol:

[navy]

Horrible. Wasnt that bad from an all around standpoint. He's had worse games and put up better stats.

Unless you mean statistically, then sure.

No one is saying Lebron didn't play bad tonight, the only thing we have a problem with is the OP trying to act like he's objective when this is a clear troll thread.
You can't seriously tell me that this wasn't the most disrespect you have EVER seen a superstar receive from the refs. :coleman:

:wtf: what does that even mean. Many players in this playoffs alone have not gotten calls just as bad as Bron tonight

[Relinquish]

:wtf: what does that even mean. Many players in this playoffs alone have not gotten calls just as bad as Bron tonight

He's talking about the calls called against Lebron, not fouls that Lebron was on the receiving end of.

[JT123]

:wtf: what does that even mean. Many players in this playoffs alone have not gotten calls just as bad as Bron tonight
Yes, scrubs like Nick Collison or DeAndre Jordan. When have you ever seen the game's best player (or second best player depending on your point of view)
have 5 fouls called on him in 12 minutes? :biggums:

[Black and White]

He's talking about the calls called against Lebron, not fouls that Lebron was on the receiving end of.

Golden State got some bad calls.

[Leftimage]

No trolling, just honesty, Durant has had some bad games, Paul had 1, Parker too, but is this the worst game by a star so far?

No trolling? Ok, the refs pretty much neutered Lebron. Foul-trouble performances can't really be judged on the same level - if we're being honest. 24 mins, out of rythm, unfamiliar line-ups, off shooting night... Jordan's had em, Kobe's had em... yawn.

But yeah, judging by the 20 or so threads that have popped up in the past hour - desperately trying to show how this performance summarizes Lebron's career as a choker - most people aren't interested in discussing the performance intelligently...

[Smook A.]

Worst game by each star player in the playoffs so far

Blake Griffin: 15 pts, 6 reb (38%)
Chris Paul: 9 pts, 8 ast, (30%)
Kevin Durant: 15 pts, 13 reb (24%)
Russell Westbrook: 15 pts, 7 ast (25%)
LaMarcus Aldridge: 8 pts, 8 reb (25%)

LeBron James: 7 pts, 4 ast (20%)

Chris Bosh: 9 pts, 2 reb (33%)

Its between John Wall and LeBron James. I think John Wall's game was worse. 6 points on 15%... Thats horrible. Worse that LeBron. So to answer your question, Black and White, John Wall definitely had the worst performance in the playoffs by a star player

There ya go

[kamil]

It's hard to be objective on this forum. This forum has two sides that are extreme. One side defends LeBron to no ends, the other side makes 100 threads bashing LeBron. I feel I must side with Bran stans here because the other side is so extreme in their opinions. The foul trouble did affect the game, but LeBron had a bad game either way. But it wasn't one of his worst.

Those fgts deserve whats coming to them

Like I said, the forum is so extreme on both sides that it's just a cluster fck of trolls. People hate Bran stans, so they feel the need to make 100 threads about LeBron to get back at them. Some people here literally have made like 10 threads within an hour. It just makes things worse tbh.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Well it was definitely Bron's worst performance, but it's hard to compare it to other bad performances where players played the full games. He was in foul trouble, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a bad performance. His shot was off, and he's not going to catch rhythm while sitting on the bench.

Some of those fouls were pretty shit calls IMO

TBH it goes both ways, LeBron stans spam the boards just as much as OKC trolls, if not more, I don't think you are giving LeBron trolls enough credit for their trolling.

TBH it goes both ways, LeBron stans spam the boards just as much as OKC trolls, if not more, I don't think you are giving LeBron trolls enough credit for their trolling.

The one difference that I've noticed after being here for 2 years is that LeBron stans troll through posts, and the haters troll through creating threads. LeBron haters make far more threads, but the LeBron stans troll more in other threads.

Yup it was a combination of things but I think he would of straightened himself out if He played his normal minutes may not of been a great game but U could of expected him to put up 25 points on close to 50% shooting with his normal assists and rebounds.
